Abstract
A quick assembly tent is provided which may be quickly assembled and disassembled without using any tools or requiring know-how by the user. The tent includes a dynamic platform that can rotate about an x-axis along a platform pivot from a closed position to an open position. The tent may be configured to be mounted on a vehicle. The tent may include a rain fly and an entry ladder. The tent may be configured to deploy simply by pivoting the dynamic platform from a closed to an open position. Methods for assembling a quick assembly tent are also provided.
Claims12
A tent assembly comprising:
- a front tent wall, a back tent wall, a top tent wall, first and second side tent walls, and a folding platform assembly comprising a static platform and a dynamic platform coupled together at a platform pivot, wherein the dynamic platform is configured to pivot about the platform pivot from a closed position wherein the dynamic platform is disposed substantially above the static platform, to an open position wherein the dynamic platform is disposed substantially adjacent the static platform such that the dynamic platform and static platform together form a tent bottom surface;
- a first set of one or more side support poles extending from a first side of the platform assembly to a first side tent wall top edge;
- a corresponding second set of one or more side support poles extending from a second opposing side of the platform assembly to a second side tent wall top edge;
- a set of one or more collapsible top support poles extending substantially between the first and second side tent wall top edges, each top support pole comprising a first end coupled to a top portion of one of the first side support poles, and a second end coupled to a top portion of one of the second side support poles, and each top support pole further comprising a hinge point disposed between the first and second ends;
- wherein the tent assembly is configured to transition from a deployed state to a closed state by operatively folding the top support poles downward at the hinge point, thereby moving the top portion of each support pole and the side tent wall top edges inward towards a center of the tent assembly, and transitioning the platform assembly from the open position to the closed position such that the tent walls, side support poles, and top support poles are disposed between the static platform and dynamic platform.
